September 22nd 2006, 2:04PM [PST] - The CIA propaganda machine is spending a great deal of
energy and resources in portraying Venezuela as a drug-trafficking nation.
For eight years, From The Wilderness has been documenting the CIA's
involvement in drug trafficking and money laundering in this country and
around the world. In this article, Peter Dale Scott, long-time friend of FTW
and author of a number of books about U.S. government drug trafficking,
de-constructs this piece of CIA propaganda. He notes that 41 tons of cocaine
having been exported from Venezuela since 1998 does not of course prove
guilt on Chavez' part. On the contrary, the CIA has worked in the past with
drug traffickers to remove elected presidents, successfully in Chile, and
unsuccessfully in Cuba.
